Hideo Kojima's P.T. Demo Used to Teach English

Hideo Kojima's haunting demo, P.T., for his cancelled Silent Hills game, is being used to teach English to Japanese students.

The legacy of P.T. remains one of gaming's greatest "what-ifs". The demo shook the internet on launch after its surprise release on the PlayStation 4 with little to no marketing.

As players completed the experience, they discovered it was a demo for an upcoming Silent Hill game starring Norman Reedus, which was later cancelled due to a falling out between Kojima and Konami.

Now, P.T. has found a new life as a teaching tool to help Japanese elementary students learn English.

The brief demo's impact remains significant, even after being delisted from the PlayStation store.
